TOKYO, October 27, 2026 – Ricoh Company, Ltd. today announced that it will establish manufacturing capabilities for inkjet-printed perovskite solar cells as the company moves toward mass production. The company will build a production site at Ricoh Industry Co., Ltd.’s Tohoku Site in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, and aims to achieve annual production capacity of several hundred megawatts (MW) by 2030, with future expansion to gigawatt (GW)-scale production.
Ricoh’s perovskite solar cell manufacturing initiative has been selected for support under Japan’s GX (Green Transformation) Supply Chain Development Support Program administered by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
Ricoh leverages its inkjet technology, which enables precise deposition of the right amount of material exactly where it is needed, to form all functional layers of perovskite solar cells. This enables efficient material utilization and streamlines manufacturing processes, with the aim of improving productivity and reducing manufacturing costs.
As part of its medium- to long-term growth strategy, Ricoh is advancing the commercialization of “Functional Printing,” which applies inkjet technologies developed through its commercial and industrial printing businesses to manufacturing processes such as the coating and deposition of functional materials. Inkjet-printed perovskite solar cells are one of the projects being pursued under this initiative. Following this selection, Ricoh will build on its research, development, and demonstration activities to advance toward mass production and commercialization, with the aim of expanding the real-world deployment of perovskite solar cells and creating new business opportunities.
